Most Americans will turn their clocks forward this Sunday for daylight savings time (DST). That is everyone aside from those lucky folks in most parts of Arizona and Hawaii.
For the rest of us, adjusting our clocks twice a year can be a bit of an inconvenient shock to the system. But what if I told you it didn't have to be this way? What if I said this could be the last time we ever have to "spring forward," and we could make DST permanent?
That could be the case if the House gets on board with the Sunshine Protection Act, a piece of legislation I happen to be a proud sponsor of.
This bill would eliminate the changing of clocks, and if adopted by all states, the U.S. wouldn't 'fall back' in November, giving us a full year of DST rather than the usual eight months.
The Sunshine Protection Act was already passed by a unanimous vote in the Senate last year, and I am hopeful the recent reintroduction of the bill can be championed to the finish line this time around.
To sunny days ahead!
